    I recently installed your stage 1 carb kit. It was super easy and your directions were great.

    I also installed a Doherty Power PACC air cleaner and some Screamin' Eagle2 slip-fit mufflers.

    For some reason, my bike has lost some of it's top end speed.

    What did I do wrong?

    Mine is an '01 883.
    It runs great, but I lost about 10-15 MPH on the top end now. I did the carb, the intake, and the exhaust all at the same time. The problem could be anywhere I guess?

    Well,

    I had the mixture screw set too rich. Fixed it, and now everything is fine.
